West Lothian hospital site hits market

● Decision on planning is likely to be issued later in the summer

Lamb Associates by NHS Lothian to handle the marketing, said: “Bangour Village Hospital offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a significant site in the heart of Scotland’s Central Belt on the M8 corridor that is suitable for a variety of uses.

“Considerable work has been done by the vendor and their consultants to prepare the site for sale. We are confident there will be strong interest in the site and it’s likely a closing date will be set in early course.”

Justin Lamb, director at Justin Lamb Associates, added: “Bangour is probably the best opportunity in Scotland to deliver a new village within an existing mature landscape setting, with refurbished listed buildings and a new primary school on site; providing the ideal setting for professionals and families of all ages.

“It also includes excellent commuter links to the major employmentcentresoflivingston, Edinburgh and Glasgow with relative ease.”

Located just under two miles north of Livingston and 11 miles west of Edinburgh, the principal access is currently from the A89. The development masterplan proposes a new roundabout at this location, with secondary access from the Old Bathgate Road, on the western boundary.
